so obama campaign officials say they're not going to let one day of this week go to waste. but on your second point, in terms of enthusiasm among young voters, if you look at the polls they do show the possibility of an enthusiasm gap. in fact, according to our latest nbc news/"wall street journal" poll, president obama is leading romney among voters under the age of 35 by about 11 points. but they are less enthusiastic than older voters and less enthusiastic than they were back in 2008. so president obama is here not only rallying these young voters, but his campaign officials are also trying to register young voters to vote. in fact, one obama campaign official tells me that in 2008, 50% of the new registerees they signed up in key battleground states they signed up after labor day, so they're hoping to replicate that. young voters were key to president obama's victory in 2012 and the obama campaign knows they need to replicate that in order to hold to to the white house. >> kristen welker, thank you so much. we'll be right back to clear the air. ♪ spread a little love
